Qiuniu yangge composition

I spent my winter vacation at my grandmother's house last year. Grandma's family is in the countryside, and the Spring Festival is full of flavor. She posted Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers and ate rice cakes, but I like watching yangko best.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my grandparents got up early in the morning, cleaned the long walkway in the yard, put a big round table, put melon seeds, peanuts, cigarettes, cakes and hot tea, and then the adults chatted happily, while my sister and I jumped up and down excitedly and ran to the door to look around from time to time. Today, the Yangko team is the first to come to my home to pay a New Year call!

Finally, gongs and drums sounded, and soon I saw a group of aunts and grandmothers in colorful clothes coming to my house. My sister and I shouted to the adults in the yard, "Come on! Come! " An old man walked in front. As soon as he entered the yard, he arched his fists with both hands and said, "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! " Grandparents rushed to meet them and said, "Happy New Year!" Then warmly invite him to drink tea and smoke.

After a cigarette was finished, the captain gave the order: "Let's go!" The sound of gongs and drums is sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes slow and sometimes fast. Yangko players wriggled with the drums. They waved colorful handkerchiefs in their left hands and bright fans in their right hands, sometimes in a long string, sometimes in red and green columns. When their handkerchiefs and fans wave into the air together, it's like butterflies flying in the sky. More and more people are watching, and naughty older children climb up the wall. Grandma couldn't wait to jump, too. She ran into the room, took out a fan and handkerchief, joined the yangko team, and sometimes made some players dance, which made everyone happy. Slowly, the sound of gongs and drums stopped, and the fat grandmother was exhausted, but she also laughed with her grandfather.

At this time, a clever young man picked up the drumstick and knocked hard. Two drumsticks are high and low, up and down. Coupled with the sound of gongs and drums, like firecrackers exploding flowers, even the magpies hiding in their nests for the winter were shocked and rushed to the blue sky. Finally, all the sounds stopped. Grandparents quickly asked everyone to sit at the round table and have a rest. Everyone is chatting while eating cake.

I asked my mother, "Why do you want to dance Yangko in the New Year?" My mother told me: "A long time ago, we Han people in the north worked hard for a year. In order to celebrate the harvest and entertain the villagers, we organized a team to sing and dance. Beating gongs and drums is to scare away all monsters and pray for good weather in the coming year. Gradually, it became the present yangko. In the Qing Dynasty, yangko was widely spread all over the country. " So this lively yangko has such a long history!
